You can boot your SS20 and get the openboot output on the serial console? You need to issue a BREAK signal during the boot process (e.g. memory check) - this will stop booting and put you into the openboot environment (PC talk: BIOS). Don't know out of my head how to do this with minicom. Should be possible. Now you can type something like: boot cdrom or get a lot of help > Marc Regards, Hartwig -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Sparc hardware will send console to serial A automatically if the keyboard is not connected. Make sure you unplug the keyboard.
